Aces are always low in cribbage.

Hi, for the life of me I can not find any info on this. We have a, "Century continuous track cribbage" (121 holes)board by ARE JAY GAME CO. INC., Cleveland Ohio Made in USA.

JW emailed to say:

I have recently photoed and included images of the box and rules/directions for the Are-Jay Game Co.'s Century #715 Continuous Track Cribbage 2,3,4,6 Player Board. My grandmother purchased hers at Hudson's in Detroit, Michigan, where she worked as an employee, at a marked down price of $6.00, sometime prior to 1990.

Here is JW's photo of the board:

He also kindly photographed the playing rules (click on the picture to see the full size version):

Assuming that these were the first 3 cards played - you score "15-2" for making the running total 15, not for any combination of cards which make 15. And another 3 for the run, making 5 points total.

The following cards were played in order:
4 - 6 - 5. Obviously this addes up to 15, but there is also a run here. As this happens during play, do I peg 2 points (2 for 15), 3 points (for the run), or 5 points (a total of both scores)?

The play went 3, 4, 5, 6.. so there was a score of 3 and a score of 4 for runs.. a total of 18 played. Then an ace is played.. so the total is 19. No points are scored there. Then a 6 is played, total is 25 and still no other scores.. (3 4 5 6 A 6 has no more running cards past the first 6).

I put down an ace and am told to go. I put down another ace for 31. Do I get four points (31 + pair) or do I get five points (31 + pair + the go)?

The question came up recently about the score for a triple run. According to almost every cribbage rule book we have been able to find, it is always scored as 15 without any 15-2 counted (i.e. K, Q, Q, J with cut as Q). Why is this not scored as 3 double runs or 24 points?

Unfortunately not, the 31 for 2 includes one for last card (or 'go').

I play this game on my old Palm III.

I want to get a used Palm Pilot for my dad who loves to play.

Does anyone know what Palms that this game will and will not work with?

Thanks in advance.

I am out of cards. My opponent has two cards left. He plays and says 10, then puts down a 6 and totals 16. Does my opponent score anything for ending the play at 16. He has no cards left, and I had no cards left when he started?

What is his score for ending the game?

My husband and I play cribbage twice every day. Today we ran into a scoring dilema that we just can't figure out. The count was at 22 and the last two cards played were 5 and 6. My husband said "GO" I held a 2, 3 and 4 in my hand. I layed down the 4 which gave me a 3 point run. Now it gets tricky. I then played the 3 which I thought gave me a 4 point run, then I played the 2 for a 5 point run, then 1 point for the 'Go'. For a total pegging score of 13 points. Our question is should I have just layed down all three of my cards and taken only the 5 point run and the 'Go'? Or was I correct to play one card at a time and score they way I did? Just so you know, I would have won the game anyway as I had first count and the points in my hand would have taken me to the finish. However, we disagree on my scoring. My argument is that I can only play one card at a time. My husband believes I should have layed all three cards at once!!! Thanks for your help.

Does an Ace only count low in a run or can it be used with Queen, King, Ace for a run?

Thank you.
